>> These days, I wonder why ISPs would oppose the VFP DLLs and runtime files being placed on their servers, as they're not overly huge in size. ??<<
Most larger hosting services try to satisfy the bulk of their customers by providing Linux and Windows hosting options, so this is not an issue. GoDaddy (who I use for my personal site) and InfoQuest (who I use for my business site) each have these options. The each offer MySQL and SQL Server as databases too. Everyday stuff by service companies who don't want to limit their customer base because of preferences for certain technologies. I do not think it is the runtime DLL files. I think it is the fact that you need to install your VFP COM object. You can easily write code they cannot control and this code could lock up the server or do a number of unspeakable things they would not want done, which hoses up numerous customers. I think this is a control issue for overall uptime support, not a technology issue for most host providers. This is why self hosting solutions, or niche providers who understand the benefits of VFP on the server make sense for the VFP developer.
